+# ChattyPub Workshop Script
+
+## Introduction
+
+ChattyPub is a design tool in the making – leveraging a chat interface to apply styles and formats to the content of a publication. 
+
+The workshop will explore in a practical manner how the process of co-designing a publication can unfold, specifically when several people are working at the same time using a chat interface as the main design tool. During HDSA2021 we would like to open up the process of making this tool and explore together its possibilities and limitations. The workshop will take place towards the end of the one-week summer academy program. Thus, we will be able to use some of the documentation produced during the week — workshops scripts, prototypes, game cards, recipes, ... as well as conversations we will have on different platforms – synchronously and asynchronously. 
+
+Commands allow you to style the texts and images, but someone else can change their appearance again later! How will we negotiate these design decisions synchronously and asynchronously? The outcome could be a zine, posters or a webpage.
+
+[I think it needs a more descriptive explanation here of what actually happens in the tool]
+
+This script aims to provide the necessary instructions to host a workshop around ChattyPub that can accomodate different skills and knowledges in different contexts. 
+
+
+## Goals
+- Learn to collaboratively write, design, and print documents using ChattyPub
+- Produce publications of / relating to HDSA2021 (documentation, prototypes, conversations, etc...)
+- Learn and/or practice styling with CSS
+- Applying CSS styles to emojis ?
+
+## Requirements
+- an account for the Hackers & Designers Zulip instance:  https://chat.hackersanddesigners.nl/.
+- a printer
+
+## Preparation
+
+Before the summer academy: Most important is for all workshop participants to set up a Zulip account on our server. The H&D zulip instance can be found at https://chat.hackersanddesigners.nl/. André will set up accounts for everyone (or we temporarily enable public account creation?)
+
+On the first day of the summer academy (monday): Participants are introduced to the Zulip interface and instructed to use it for communication during the course of the week. Zulip makes use of a rather unconventional (but powerful) chat-threading logic, so it would be good to spend some time interacting with it and settle into this new environment.
+
+Workshop hosts and participants are encouraged to think about how they would like to document their processes during the summer academy. What is included and what isn't? How is this shared? Is there a regular moment during the day dedicated to documentation or is it more ad-hoc? We suggest using Etherpad for collaborative note taking, and regularly making screenshots or screenrecordings and photos. We have previously compiled a so-called "tool-ecology", a list of tools we have good experiences with and recommend using during the summer academy: https://etherpad.hackersanddesigners.nl/p/hdsa2020-tool-ecology. (Tools for documentation start at line 35) (does it make sense to create a wiki article out of it?)... yes and maybe create a new version for this year, since we are doing things quite different and use different tools such as Zuilip, Ethercalc and BBB. 
+
+Texts, images, and conversations [you mean recordings of conversations as in sound files? or why do you make a difference to text?] will make great material for our workshop.
+
+
+## Workshop
+
+The workshop is split over two sessions (over two days) of 4 hours each.
+
+Opening Session: Introductions & first encounters with ChattyPub
+- Introductory presentation ( 1hr ) -- will be livestreamed in the morning / recorded and shared afterwards. 
+    - Context and background on H&D's publishing activities (Anja & Juliette) -- [we can also prepare a slideshow as pdf with relevant links that can be shared afterwards] 
+    - Introduction to ChattyPub (Karl).
+    - Introduction to CSS [https://github.com/hackersanddesigners/chatty-pub/blob/master/front/docs/CSS.md] (Heerko).
+    - How it all comes together (emojis ;])(who is doing this? Karl?)
+
+
+    Experimenting with ChattyPub! ( 2 hrs ) [How are people going to do this asynchronously? it needs maybe more direction and steps from here]+1
+
+    all levels of technical knowledge should be accommodated [yes but how? if people are not experieced where do they find instructions?]+1
+
+    it's reccommended to group together participants with different levels of experience with CSS
+
+    Brainstorm Session (1 hr) [also for the brainstorm it would be nice to add some suggestions for how to do this if you are not in Amsterdam and maybe not even togeter in a room.]
+
+    in groups of 2-3, participants brainstorm publications they will make during the main session [Is this brainstorm about content? or about the negotiation process for the layout? can we come up with a format for the brainstorm or some questions as an aid?]
+
+    If you are planning to print your publication, take into account the printing limitations of your home printer or local print shop [take into account in what way? regarding the format? will i need to adjust something in the css? or in regards to bw/color? ] 
+
+
+Main Session: Chat => Print
+
+    Making publications ( 2 hrs )
+
+    Groups work on the publications planned in the previous session [how? will there be channels prepared? are people making their own channels?]
+
+    Organizers are available to help where needed [who are the organizers? in vienna and pittsburgh people will be online on their own.. how do they prepare for that?]
+
+    Printing Publications ( 1 hr )
+
+    A printer is required in the space (or easily accessible)
+
+    Accommodating for different paper sizes is an added bonus
+
+    Binding could be fun too
+
+    Sharing outcomes and reflections ( 1 hr ) [add link and time in different time zones]
+
+    Round of publications
+
+    Reflection on process
+
+    Feedback on ChattyPub
